Yahoo! Announces Top Searches In 2007

Writing by Nick Stamoulis on Monday, 3 of December , 2007 at 4:22 pm

Yahoo! has published its top search for 2007. Any guesses who’s on top? If you guessed Britney Spears then pat yourself on the back. It seems the celebrity just can’t be out Yahoo!ed.

It really shouldn’t come as no surprise to anyone. This isn’t the first time Britney has topped the Yahoo! chart. But the news does serve as a testimony to the difference between Yahoo! searchers and Googlers.

Google hasn’t released their figures for this year yet, but you can see what they were last year. If that is any indication of Google search trends then you can bet that the top searches this year will have something to do with search, Web 2.0, or some aspect of online life. People on Yahoo! it seems are still stuck in the real world.

The interesting thing about the Yahoo! search statistics is that they are broken down by category. But I’m confused about some of the titles of the categories. Why do we need to know the top 10 “send offs?” And did Saddam Hussein really dominate the whole year in news? These are very interesting figures. At any rate, do with this information what you will, just don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.
